Polarization Maintaining (PM) Faraday Rotator (PMFR)

 

 

Description:

 

The Polarization Maintaining (PM) Faraday Rotator (PMFR) provides a 45° rotation in either transmission direction. The input and output fibers are PM fibers aligned so that the output fiber major axis are at 45° from the input fiber. Therefore in one direction, transmission will be maintained along the same axes (slow ® slow or fast ® fast). In the opposite direction, the axes will be switched. It features low insertion loss, high extinction ratio, and high return loss in a compact package.

 

Applications:

 

·         CATV fiber optic systems

·         External modulator transmitters

·         Fiber lasers

·         Fiber gyros

 

 

Key Features:

 

·         Very Low loss

·         Very high thermal stability

·         High extinction

·         High return loss

·         Compact inline package, 5.5mm OD
